When you are exploring a different system then ask questions about it on related forums. > If you just want to put someone down why don't you pick a target that will You need to go read email exchange between some members of this list and "target individual" where he was extremely rude IMO [1] not very long ago. Only then you'll understand the reaction to his latest silly question about a product that has nothing to do with LinuxCNC. [1] That kind of experience would keep me quiet for a year before asking for help again. I understand there is a language barrier but that exchange was not about problem with understanding English language. It was about ignorance after they tried to help him and people got tired of it. This reminds me of mailing lists rule no. #1: don't offend people that (try to) help for free. And there is this: I've done a lot of linux support in early days mailing lists and news groups when there were only a handful of sites with anything on Linux and there was only one printed collection of messages from the Linux news group in first Linux Bible. It was understandable that software developers needed help to get systems up and start writing or porting applications to Linux but they lacked hardware or system administrative skills that some of us were able to provide. These days people are too _damn_ lazy to search on one of numerous search engines before they send a request for help on a mailing list. That's why we see so many of the same (newbie) questions over and over again. Searching on the Internet requires some skills too but this mailing list is not appropriate place for learning it IMO. > fight back.
